What is Auto Glass Guys?

The premier mobile auto-glass service platform serving Washington State, offering instant quoting, expert repair scheduling, and comprehensive vehicle glass management.

What's the difference between OEM and aftermarket glass for windshield repair?

OEM (dealer-brand) glass comes from your vehicle manufacturer's original glass supplier and matches the factory dimensions, tint, and moldings exactly. Aftermarket (OEE) glass is built by independent manufacturers to the same NAGS part specifications, usually at a lower price. Both meet DOT safety standards, support ADAS recalibration, and carry our lifetime workmanship warranty.

Is aftermarket windshield glass as good as OEM?

Yes — aftermarket (OEE) auto glass meets the same DOT/FMVSS safety standards as OEM glass and is built to the same NAGS part specifications, so it fits and performs the same. The main differences are the maker, a possible slight tint-shade difference, and price: OEM glass comes from your vehicle manufacturer's original supplier at a premium, while aftermarket glass is usually the better value. We back both with our lifetime workmanship warranty and recalibrate ADAS to factory spec after either install.

Does insurance cover windshield repair?

Yes — if you carry comprehensive coverage, your policy pays for windshield repair. Many Washington insurers offer a $0 or reduced glass deductible, and most waive the deductible completely for chip repair. We verify your coverage and file the claim for you.

How do I file an auto glass insurance claim?

You don't have to file anything yourself. Bring us your insurance card or policy number — we confirm your glass coverage, open the claim directly with your insurer, handle the paperwork, and they pay us directly. You only pay your deductible (if any), and Washington law guarantees your right to choose your own glass shop.

Should I pay cash or use insurance for auto glass?

Compare your comprehensive glass deductible to our cash price. If your deductible is $500 and the job costs $400 out of pocket, paying cash is cheaper. If your glass deductible is $0 or low, insurance usually wins. We show you both numbers before you decide — no pressure either way.

Can my windshield chip be repaired instead of replaced?

Usually, yes. Chips up to about the size of a quarter, cracks under 3 inches, and breaks that are outside your line of sight and at least an inch from the edge can typically be repaired. Anything larger, closer to the edge, or directly in your view needs replacement.

How do you decide between windshield repair and replacement?

We judge every break on three things: size (quarter-sized chips and sub-3-inch cracks are repairable), type (stars and bullseyes repair well; branching cracks and edge breaks do not), and position (line-of-sight and edge damage are replaced for safety and visibility).

Does Auto Glass Guys offer a warranty on windshield repair?

Yes. Every windshield repair we perform in our Pacific Northwest service area carries our lifetime installation guarantee — for as long as you own the vehicle.

What does the Auto Glass Guys lifetime glass guarantee cover?

Our lifetime guarantee covers installation workmanship — leaks, wind noise, molding, and fitment issues — plus manufacturer defects in the glass itself, for as long as you own the vehicle. New impact damage is a new repair or insurance claim, but warranty service is always free and performed mobile at your home or workplace.

Do you offer windshield repair near me?

Yes — Auto Glass Guys delivers windshield repair mobile across Pierce and Snohomish Counties, including Puyallup, Tacoma, Lakewood, Lake Stevens, Everett and surrounding communities. We come to your home or workplace at no extra charge.

How much does windshield repair cost?

Pricing depends on your vehicle, the glass configuration and any technology attached to it. Request a free quote and we'll confirm your exact windshield repair price before any work is scheduled.

Do you come to me for windshield repair, or do I visit a shop?

We come to you. Windshield Repair is dispatched mobile to your home, workplace or any safe parking spot — you don't need to visit a shop or wait in a lobby.

Is windshield repair guaranteed?

Every job carries our lifetime craftsmanship guarantee — if a seal, mold or installation issue ever surfaces on work we performed, we make it right at no charge.

Will you work with my insurance?

We help with auto-glass insurance claims and can guide you step by step through what your policy covers. If you choose the insurance path in the quote tool, select your carrier and we'll verify coverage details with you. Final coverage and any deductible depend on your specific policy and carrier, so we confirm the specifics before scheduling — you'll always know what's covered and what you owe before we begin.

Do you handle ADAS recalibration?

Yes. When a windshield or glass replacement involves a camera, radar, or sensor, recalibration may be required to keep your advanced driver-assistance systems working correctly. We follow applicable manufacturer procedures using proper calibration equipment and qualified technicians, and we'll confirm whether your vehicle needs a static or dynamic recalibration as part of your service. You'll know upfront if calibration is included or recommended — never an unexpected add-on.

Are estimates guaranteed prices?

No — estimates are clearly labeled as estimates until our team verifies glass fitment and parts availability for your specific vehicle. Because glass part numbers, sensor packages, and trim options vary by vehicle, we confirm the exact glass before committing to a final price. We never invent a price or guarantee availability. You'll always know what's an estimate and what's confirmed before any work begins, so there are no surprises.

Which areas do you serve?

We provide mobile auto-glass service across Pierce County and Snohomish County, Washington, including Tacoma, Puyallup, Lakewood, Everett, Marysville, Snohomish, and surrounding communities. When you enter your ZIP code in the quote tool, we confirm coverage and route you to the correct local team. If your area is on a boundary or hasn't been verified yet, we'll tell you honestly and help you confirm whether we can reach you — no false promises.

Do I need an account to get a quote?

No account is required to start or complete a quote. Enter your ZIP code, tell us which glass is damaged, and share your vehicle details — we'll match you to the right service and provide an estimate or route your request for manual review. If you'd like, you can create a free account afterward to save your vehicle, track appointments, and revisit past service history. The account is always optional and never blocks you from getting help.

Windshield Repair & Rock Chip Repair

Repairability

Can My Windshield Be Repaired?

Usually, yes — if the damage is small. Chips up to about the size of a quarter and cracks shorter than about 3 inches can typically be repaired, as long as the break is outside the driver's line of sight and at least an inch from the edge of the glass. Larger damage, edge cracks, and anything directly in your view call for replacement. We inspect the damage for free and tell you honestly which option is safe.

Rock Chip Repair

A rock chip — the small impact point left by highway gravel — is the classic repair case. Clear resin is injected into the break, bonded under pressure, and cured, which stops the chip from spreading and restores most of the glass's clarity. Repair takes under an hour, done mobile at your home or workplace, and most Washington comprehensive policies cover chip repair at no cost to you.

Star breaks, bullseyes, and combination breaks are judged on the same size and position rules — if they fit, we repair them the same day.

Windshield Crack Repair

A single short crack can often be stabilized before it spreads across the windshield. The same resin process stops a crack under about 3 inches and keeps the factory seal intact — which is why repairing early is always better than waiting.

Longer cracks, branching cracks, or cracks that reach the edge of the glass have already compromised the windshield's structure — those need replacement, and a free assessment confirms which side of the line your damage falls on.

How insurance claims work

+ all other carriers

Auto Glass Guys works with insurance carriers to help customers navigate covered auto glass repairs. Coverage, deductibles, claim approval, and repair options are determined by your individual insurance policy and carrier. Auto Glass Guys is not affiliated with or endorsed by the insurance companies shown above.

How auto glass insurance claims work

Comprehensive car insurance typically pays for windshield repair — and we handle the entire claim for you. Here's exactly what happens, step by step.

Step 1: Check your coverage
Auto glass is covered under the comprehensive portion of your policy — not collision. Many Washington policies include a $0 or reduced glass deductible, and most insurers waive the deductible entirely for chip repair. Have your policy or insurance card handy and we can confirm what applies.
Step 2: We file the claim for you
You never have to call your insurance company or fill out forms. We verify your coverage, open the claim directly with your insurer, and handle all the paperwork — Washington law lets you choose your own glass shop, so no one can steer you elsewhere.
Step 3: Insurance pays us directly
Once the claim is approved, your insurer pays us for the job. You only pay your glass deductible (if any) at the time of service. If your deductible is higher than our cash price, we’ll show you both numbers so you can pick the cheaper route.
Step 4: We come to you
After approval, we schedule mobile service at your home or workplace. The whole process — claim to new glass — usually happens within a few days, and every install carries our lifetime workmanship warranty.

How direct billing works — you never front the money

You pay nothing up front — no deposit, no card on file, no claim forms to fill out.

We bill your insurance carrier (or their claims administrator) directly for the full job.

You only pay your glass deductible at the time of service — and only if your policy has one.

If the claim is somehow denied after install, we sort it out with your carrier — never a surprise bill to you.

Cash vs. insurance — we show you both

If your glass deductible is higher than our cash price, paying cash costs less — and a claim isn't always worth it. We'll give you the exact cash price and your claim cost side by side before you choose.

Repair or replace

Should you repair or replace your windshield?

The right answer depends on the size, type, and position of the damage. Use the rules below for a quick read — then let us confirm it for free before you commit to anything.

Judge it by size

Smaller than a quarter: Chips up to about the size of a quarter are usually repairable. Larger impact breaks need replacement.
Cracks under 3 inches: Short cracks — roughly the length of a credit card or less — can typically be stabilized with resin.
Outside the driver’s line of sight: Breaks directly in your view distort vision even after repair, so those areas are replaced for safety.
At least 1 inch from the edge: Edge breaks weaken the whole windshield and spread quickly — those get replaced.

Judge it by damage type

repairChip, star, or bullseye: Small impact breaks with radiating legs are the classic repair case — resin restores strength and clarity.
repairSingle short crack: A crack shorter than about 3 inches (roughly a credit card) can usually be stabilized before it spreads.
replaceLong or branching crack: Cracks longer than 3 inches, or breaks splitting in several directions, have already compromised the glass.
replaceEdge break: Damage within an inch of the edge weakens the windshield’s bond and spreads fast — replacement is the safe call.
replacePitted or sandblasted glass: Years of highway grit can’t be repaired away. Once vision scatters in sunlight or headlight glare, replace.
replaceAnything in your line of sight: Repairs leave slight distortion. Breaks in the driver’s view get replaced so vision stays clear.

When repair wins

If your damage fits the size and type rules above, chip repair costs a fraction of a replacement — often $0 with insurance — and takes under an hour wherever your car sits.

When replacement wins

Long cracks, edge damage, heavy pitting, or anything in your line of sight call for a full replacement — your windshield is structural and protects you in a rollover, so we never stretch repair rules on safety.
